Because not everybody wants to be represented by a union. In fact, union membership is declining and a minority of the workforce belong to unions. Therefore it shouldn’t be public policy to force union policy upon people. It’s an issue of basic human rights – freedom of representation and freedom of choice.

Oh come on Pete, you’ll have to do better than that. Combet’s a high profile, extremely canny candidate. It’s a no-brainer politically speaking. This doesn’t prove that Rudd is the Unions gimp, it proves (as if we needed more proof,) that Rudd is a very smart politician. I wonder what you make of Maxind McKew? Does it prove that under Rudd’s fiscal conservatism there lies a beating latte filled heart?

I agree with your point in comments, but i have a counter. It shouldn’t be public policy to force Lawyer policy upon people! or BCA policy for that matter… and also i suspect that Union membership is no longer declining.

BTW, i just wrote something on a related subject so i thought this was as good a time as any to hook you up with the emooandmikey blog like we were talking all that time ago in the ‘dale – long way from Oxford (or Chile for that matter.)
